based, this is how you do it
echo "a well_done c" | cut -f 2 -d ' ' | sed 's/_/ /g'

I can only focus on one deficit at a time, anon

>well_done
Impressive.

>>105811462
>3 different processes
echo is built in to every modern shell, so it's 2 processes.

You guys actually "learn" how to use the shell? If you're making a curriculum like this, doesn't that mean you already know how to use it? Why not just learn when you need to do something new?

I just play over the wire

>Why not just learn when you need to do something new?
Judging by what we see here at /g/ headquarters, not enough anons do learn it when they need to do something new. And you never really "learn" it anyways, you just grow to understand how to chain stuff together and chip away at one-off solutions. So OP is doing himself a great favor by doing what he's doing, because that's how people used to learn it, by fucking around with stuff for some amount of time per day, usually boredom. Eventually you'll come up with useful scripts and that's comfy.

By the way are there any other beginner level war games like over the wire?

>>105810659 (OP)
thanks anon, i didn't know about ncdu

df -h to check various mounts for free space/used space
also sed -i 's/old_text/new_text/g' filename is nice for replacing shit in text/config files.
